The first and best Rayman game I have ever played.

User Rating: 10 | Rayman 2: The Great Escape N64
Rayman 2 for the Nintendo 64 was one of the most creative and enjoyable 3D games to date. I never got a chance to play the very first game, but playing this game made me remind me of Super Mario 64: a 2D game that shifted to 3D that was successful in many ways. That is how I felt when playing Rayman 2.

The story had (at the time) one of the most comedic, hilarious, and humoring dialogue. The level design had some of the most interesting environments that would never be duplicated today (except whenever Super Mario Galaxy comes out on the Wii). The game is very long and enjoyable at the same time.

The gameplay in this game was a departure from the side-scrolling Rayman days. You can shoot, jump swing, swim, ride, and shoot some more. It’s that addicting.

Rayman 2 being on the N64 still puzzles me, but that didn’t matter because Rayman 2 is still one of those rare games you need to pick up and play. Hopefully this incredible game comes out for the Wii Virtual Console. Don’t miss out on this “masterpiece”!!!
